‘West Wing’ actor Martin Sheen praises son Charlie’s courage NAPLES, Florida — “The West Wing” actor Martin Sheen says he wishes he had the courage of his son Charlie Sheen, who has revealed he’s HIV-positive. Sheen spoke Tuesday during an event at The Ritz-Carlton resort in Naples, Florida, hours after his son’s appearance on NBC’s “Today.” According to the Naples Daily News, Sheen said his 50-year-old son had been working up to the
Enya returns with ethereal style she’s made her own

NEW YORK — The Irish singer Eithne Ni Bhraonain — known to the world as Enya — has essentially created her own style of music and sold some 80 million CDs in three decades. Yet when she leaves a hotel after talking about her first new work in seven years, chances are she will walk Manhattan streets unnoticed. It’s an enviable place to be in a celebrity-soaked world. “As a musician, I love the fact that the success was on the music,” she said. “I always say that fame and success are two very different things. ... I had a choice — and not a lot of people have this choice — of whether to seek fame with this music or whether to stay back behind the music and let the music speak for it-
self. And, really, that’s what I did.” Enya’s music re-enters the spotlight on Friday, with the release of “Dark Sky Island.” It debuts the same day another one-named powerhouse comes out with her new album — Adele with her “25.” The music industry will be watching to see in this era of streaming and sharing if Enya can replicate past success. Nielsen Music says
she’s sold 23.8 million albums in the United States alone. However, there is reason for added excitement: Enya fans are being teased with the possibility that the 54-year-old singer, who rarely sings in public, may actually be ready to take the stage. “Performing is something I enjoy,” she said. “The way we put an album together is very much a performance feel. We’re trying to capture that live performance and that’s why I would know it would work on stage, and I would love to perform it.” So why hasn’t she done so in the past? “Time,” she said. (ap)
announcement for months with his family’s encouragement. Sheen said that as he watched his son reveal “his deepest, darkest secret, I couldn’t believe the level of courage I was witnessing, and that it was my son.” Sheen encouraged support for people struggling with drug and alcohol addictions. He said he hoped the announcement was “the first day of the rest of Charlie’s life as a free man.” (ap)

NEW YORK — Carly Simon says the second verse of her infamous song “You’re So Vain” is about Warren Beatty. The 70-yearold singer tells People magazine that she’s “confirmed that the second verse is Warren.” She adds that Beatty “thinks the whole thing is about him!” Simon will release the memoir, “Boys in the Trees,” on Nov. 24.
The subjects behind “You’re So Vain,” released in 1972, have been a matter of speculation for years. The singer said the No. 1 hit is about three men, including Beatty, though she isn’t naming the others. Simon was married to James Taylor, and People says she has been linked to Mick Jagger, Kris Kristofferson, Jack Nicholson and Cat Stevens. (ap)

Pilot grounded for ‘offering hostess as compensation’
JAKARTA - An Indonesian airline has grounded a pilot after the other crew members “happy he allegedly offered an air hostess to passengers as compensation birthday” over the PA system during the flight on Saturday, it said. for a delay on a flight to the resort island of Bali. Loud moaning sounds were also heard from the cockpit throughout the Lion Air flight, with one passenger left so shocked that he lodged a complaint about improper behaviour with the transport ministry. The passenger, Lambertus Maengkom, said that as the plane took off late from Java island, the co-pilot jokingly announced over the PA system that he was offering a female, di-
vorced flight attendant to passengers to make up for the delay. “We want to ask whether it is standard procedure, applied by [authorities], to make Lion Air pilots offer a divorced flight attendant to passengers, repeatedly, over the microphone?” Maengkom said in his complaint. The co-pilot, who has not been named, also loudly wished one of
“It was not funny at all, it was dangerous,” Maengkom said, adding that angry passengers had questioned whether the co-pilot was sober and unsuccessfully sought to confront him when the plane landed. The incident sparked widespread media coverage in Indonesia and prompted Lion Air, the country’s biggest low-cost carrier, to launch an internal inquiry. Reporting the results of an initial
probe late Wednesday, Lion Air announced the co-pilot was being grounded, and investigations were continuing. “The co-pilot has been grounded and banned from flying,” Lion Air general affairs director Edward Sirait said in a statement. He did not comment on the air hostess allegation in his statement but insisted the co-pilot was not intoxicated, and that the sounds coming from the cockpit were nothing untoward. “The co-pilot sounded like he
was panting, that’s how he normally talks. The mic was too close to his lips so when he breathed or talked, it sounded like moaning,” Sirait said.

Tourism in Candidasa has been declining in recent years due to lack of attention to basic infrastructure. This despite the fact that this area of Karangasem is a favoured destination of many tourists looking for something a little more low key than the type of tourism found in South Bali.
TOURISM in Candidasa has been declining in recent years due to lack of attention to basic infrastructure. This despite the fact that this area of Karangasem is a favoured destination of many tourists looking for something a little more low key than the type of tourism found in South Bali. Tourists from various countries in Europe as well as Austalia, China and Japan often choose to come t o Candi Dasa so that they can trekk along the path that runs from Tenganan and Kastala to Tirtagangga. They also come here to go snorkelling, do yoga and learn Balinese cooking. But for the moment hotel occupancy rates are as low as 50% which is 10 to 20% lower thet what is considered sustainable. According to Secretary of the Indonesia Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI) for Karangasem, Wayan Kariasa, Candidasa needs to have a distinct tourism icon to draw in more visitors, and perhaps more importantly, basic facilities need to be improved as does promotion of this location both locally and overseas. “It is not enough to just have a row of hotels an a few restaurants,” he said. Kariasa however pointed out that in the last year an increasing number of investors have been putting money into renovating vacant hotel buildings in the area, although the outcome is not yet clear. One thing is for sure: many tourism investors have their eyes on East Bali as an alternative destination to the overcrowding of South of Bali. Continue to page 2 Intensive Promotions ...
